<br /> Honorable Leningrad Elarionoff, Chair <br /> and Members of the Committee on Planning <br /> COUNTY COUNCIL <br /> Page 3 <br /> December 15, 2003 <br /> text of the General Plan as it would be if the Council adopted all of the changes proposed <br /> in the "green" volume. The "pink" volume does not contain a complete set of the <br /> LUPAG maps or the Facilities or Roadways maps. These are contained only in the <br /> "green" volume. <br /> In addition, we have sent each councilmember a binder entitled "Supplemental General <br /> Plan Revisions from Planning". These contain modifications that the Planning <br /> Department would like the Council to make. The Council would have to initiate these <br /> modifications by resolution. The binder contains cover letters that explain each of the <br /> proposed changes. In brief, these changes are modifications to the proposed changes for <br /> Kohanaiki and Keopuka, and changes to the roadways and public utilities maps. The <br /> Kohanaiki and Keopuka revisions are based on negotiations with the landowners, and <br /> reduce the size of the Open designation in Kohanaiki and the Conservation area in <br /> Keopuka. <br /> In addition, for the sake of clarification, we previously sent the councilmembers a set of <br /> 21 maps showing each change to the agricultural designations in the LUPAG maps. The <br /> LUPAG maps at the back of the "green" volume contain the proposed designations, but <br /> the separate set of 21 agricultural maps show each of the changes, for example, <br /> "Orchards" to "Important Agricultural". <br /> Recurring Issues with the General Plan Draft <br /> There have been many comments and suggestions about the General Plan revisions. The <br /> comments are too many to address one-by-one, but there are some common themes and <br /> issues that aze worth discussing. <br /> 1. Coastal Open Space <br /> The proposed LUPAG Map changes contain a number of amendments that take <br /> away resort or other urban designations from various coastal properties. None of <br /> these have actually been developed, and with the exception of Kohanaiki, none of <br /> the properties in question aze currently zoned for resort or other urban use. These <br /> changes include taking away resort and medium density urban designations <br /> immediately adjacent to Spencer Pazk and the Pu'ukohola Heiau (F-8); resort, <br /> medium density and urban expansion azeas in the coastal portions of O'oma and <br /> Kohanaiki (G-7, G-8, G-9, G-l0a and G-lOb); resort, medium density, and low <br /> <br />
